Sometimes stores will set up tanks like this because they look nice, but they are ultimately unstable. A tank that size should have only a couple small fish, not clowns. A fish store that is willing to sell this kind of setup is looking for money, and doesn't really care about the health of the animals. This kind of behavior is actually endangering the hobby as a whole.
The view of aquarium residents as disposable needs to be put away. Anemone lifespans can be measured in decades if not a century or more. Some of the fish can live for 10 or 20 years or more, and not just the big ones.
